RENEWING MINDS | IGNITING HEARTS | INSPIRING LIVES
Plutarch once said that “the mind is not an empty vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled." Saint Paul, taking the words of the great historian to a new level, said that to be a Christian is fundamentally about "the renewing of our minds.” This is what we believe at Urban Abbey.

A Year with the MastersImagine a year of study as a vibrant garden to grow in knowledge and virtue. Imagine it not as a place to sit and listen to lectures, but rather, a way of life and pursuit of most noble ends. Imagine it as an ongoing conversation about the most profound ideas of history: truth, justice, liberty, beauty, poetry, drama, God, and the afterlife to name a few. Imagine being taught by the greatest masters of the mind that walked on this earth: Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Dionysius, Dante, Dostoyevsky, Nietzsche, and more, who though dead, live on in Great Books. If you can imagine such a place, you've imagined Urban Abbey.
